Oasis or Blur?

[Bhafc11]

Oasis..

 

[Pevenseagull]

Pavement

 

[Ali_rrr]

Oasis.

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Who can honestly say they pick up a Blur album and say to themselves "Ooh that track listing looks great, I must pop that on the old cd player/mp3 player/cassette deck/record player/8 track player right away" ?

I regularly think exactly that.

I regularly think exactly that.

Some of the album tracks on Blurs 13 and Think Tank album are excellent. Think Tank certainly has a real depth rather than the happy Madness like Country House and Park Life singles that they will be remembered for.

If you are going on singles then its Oasis, but Damon Albarns real writing genius is in the composition of some of the lesser known album tracks.

This skill then transgresses to his later projects like Gorillaz which pushes the musical boundries further, whereas Gallaghers High Flying Birds rest in the comfort zone of an Oasis type genre. Nothing wrong with that but not ground breaking.

good prediction

Supergrass

Quite agree, Supergrass were most consistant out of all of them. Oasis burnt out after 2 albums. Blur were fantastic until Damon went a bit odd.

Oasis.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

At the time, definitely Oasis. Looking back, starting to think Blur.

The Masterplan blows your theory completely out of the water, all B sides but arguably one of Oasis' top 3 albums.

REM. Weren't "indie" by the end of the 90's but certainly were at the beginning and their early stuff is SO much better than any of the bands mentioned above. I saw them on 1987 and it remains the best gig I have ever been to.

Another Oasis here, can't we have a poll save counting up the posts?

Out of the two, Blur by a mile, hated Oasis (although a fair amount of that was due to Liam admittedly). Half Man Half Biscuit were better than both though.

Worthing Carioke?

Tourfilm is one of the greatest tour films ever made. "That better not be styrofoam pal!"

Blur, New Order, Pulp then Oasis

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Blur, New Order, Pulp then Oasis

Super Furries. Or Pulp.

Hammersmith Odeon.

 

[clapham_gull]

Both shit and I struggle to understand how either are described as "Indie". I effectively stopped listening to music seriously after that Brit Pop nonsense.

 

[Albumen]

Out of the two, Blur.
Oasis had one great album then turned into a Beatles pub band.
